“If you want to do something that will catapult you forward in your personal and professional life, these retreats are right for you. I feel like I have grown 10x as fast as I would have on my own.”
Andrea Dicks

When was the last time you felt truly free?

Think about it.

Was it on vacation? That moment a few days in when you finally stopped checking your phone and realized you were laughing more than you had in months.

Was it many years ago? Before life got so busy with work, family, responsibilities, and the calendar that feels like it runs your life. (Back when you’d say yes to a spontaneous adventure without thinking twice.)

Can you remember what that felt like?

Lighter. Curious. Full of inspiration and a sense of ‘anything is possible.’

Life felt like an adventure… and you felt fully alive.

Women laughing together on a boat during a past retreat

Most of the women we work with have tasted that feeling. Yet they’ve written it off as something that only happens on vacation.

Or perhaps something they will get back to ‘someday.’

But you, gorgeous woman, are here because you sense something deep down...

Freedom is your birthright.
And it’s time to reclaim it.

Here’s what we’ve noticed after working with hundreds of high-achieving women…

So many of us treat freedom like a reward.

Something we get to enjoy once in a while, after everything else is taken care of.

This tends to show up in one of three ways…

“I’ll feel it again on my next vacation.”

You live for your next trip. You’re always looking for the next destination to put on the calendar, because that is when you feel the most alive.

You enjoy your day-to-day life. But compared to how you feel when you’re traveling, it can feel a little flat. Like living in black and white instead of full color.

“I’ll get there someday.”

Once the kids are older. Once you hit that financial goal. Once things finally slow down.

That feeling of freedom is always just out of reach… beyond the next milestone. You keep putting it off without even realizing it. Sometimes for years.

“I thought I’d feel it once I got here.”

You’ve reached so many of the big milestones you once dreamed about. The career. The income. The home. The family.

And yet the feeling of freedom you thought would come with them… never quite showed up.

Maybe you see yourself in one of these.Maybe in all three.

Women at a past retreat with eyes closed and hands on their hearts

But here’s the truth no one ever told you…

Freedom was never a set of circumstances.

It’s a feeling you can live from every single day.

Right now… on a regular Tuesday, in the middle of your full calendar, no matter where you are in your life, career, or bank account.

When you live from this place, your days feel different.

  • You laugh more.
  • You say ‘yes’ to what lights you up.
  • And ‘no’ to what drains you.
  • You make decisions faster.
  • You stop waiting for permission.
  • Life starts to feel like an adventure again (even at home).

And here’s what surprises most women…

When you feel free on the inside, the freedom you want on the outside (money freedom, time freedom, location freedom, creative freedom) shows up even faster.

That’s what this retreat is all about.

The Freedom Retreat

A 7-Day Transformational Women’s Retreat in Amsterdam

Imagine stepping out of your life for a full week… and landing in Amsterdam at one of the most beautiful times of the year.

It’s mid-June. The canals are sparkling, the city is buzzing, and there’s a feeling of possibility in the air.

You meet some of the most amazing women you’ve ever encountered… genuinely kind, welcoming, powerhouse women from around the world. It instantly feels like you’ve known each other for a lifetime.

You spend your days in transformative workshop sessions with Gigi.

01

First, you unwind.

You step out of your day-to-day life, and something in you deeply relaxes.

The stress and pressure, the beliefs that have been holding you back, any conflicts that have been weighing on you… You let it all go, one layer at a time.

02

Then, you listen.

In the space that opens up, you can finally hear the whispers of your heart and soul.

The ones that usually get drowned out by everything else going on in your life. You listen deep…

03

And then, you transform.

Your longings crystallize into a clear vision. The doubts and fears that used to stop you lose their grip.

You step into a whole new level of confidence… ready to boldly pursue your dreams and step into your next evolution. And you walk away with clear next steps to make it real.

This process is at the core of every retreat we lead.

On top of this, we will be deeply exploring this year’s theme: Freedom.

Freedom will look different for every woman in the room.

It may mean finally taking the leap you’ve been considering for years. Or rediscovering your sense of adventure and play in your day-to-day life. Or creating more time freedom, financial freedom, location freedom, or creative freedom.

Whatever freedom means for you… this is where you find it.

Where Personal Growth Meets Fun & Adventure

In between sessions, you have time to relax, explore, and unwind.

Gorgeous experiences are woven throughout the week: a surprise excursion day, special activities, and meals where you laugh harder than you have in years.

And we chose this year’s location very intentionally…

A Personal Note From Gigi:

Why Amsterdam?

“I lived in Amsterdam for five years, and it’s still one of my favorite cities in the world.

It’s a big city that feels small and intimate. You can hop on a bike and ride anywhere you like… past canal houses, over little bridges, alongside flower boxes. There’s water everywhere you look.

In June, the days are long. The sun doesn’t set until around 10 PM, so the evenings stretch into long dinners by the canal and bike rides home while it’s still light out.

The people are sweet. The energy is fun and bustling. And there’s always somewhere wonderful to eat, shop, or wander.

People usually think of Amsterdam as a party city, and it certainly has that side. But the Amsterdam I know and love is so much more than that. It has a lightness to it… a feeling that anything is possible.

I can’t think of a better place to explore what freedom means to you.

And I can’t wait to share it with you!”

Love,
Gigi

Deep Work. Real Rest. And a Lot of Laughter.

Gigi Sage has been leading retreats around the world for 40 years. In that time, she’s perfected the art of helping women step powerfully into their next evolution.

Every part of this week is designed with this in mind:

  • Powerful, deep coaching. Exercises, immersive processes, and laser coaching with Gigi to get to the heart of what you want and eliminate what holds you back.
  • Real space to breathe. Time built in to rest, reflect, and let everything you’re discovering sink in.
  • Fun that brings you back to life. Adventures, special activities, and moments that remind you how good it feels to play and be FREE.

It’s as relaxing and fun as it is life-changing… which is exactly why so many women come back year after year.

The Women You’ll Meet

This is the annual retreat for the Way of the Muse® Collective, our year-long program, and we’re opening up a limited number of spots to women who aren’t members.

The women in our community come from all over the world and all walks of life. Many run their own businesses, from brand-new ventures to companies they’ve led for decades. Others are leaders in the corporate world, while still others are retired (or semi-retired) and exploring their passions & purpose.

What they share is an open heart, a love of growth, and a desire to make a difference. They show up for each other fully… and many of them become friends for life.

“I enjoy very much the group of women that is always around Gigi. This is a very special connection, with a depth you hardly find anywhere else. Even in private friendships.”
Katja Wieland-Kaefer
“It’s a sisterhood. We laugh, we really cry together, because we’re okay with being vulnerable with each other.”
Anna Reger
“I love being surrounded by beautiful women who accepted me like I was part of the group all along.”
Manasa Subramani

You’ll fit right in… and feel like you’ve known each other for years.

In This Transformational
7-Day Retreat, You Will:

  • Deeply unwind and release the pressure you’ve been carrying… so you can fully exhale.
  • Hear what your heart has been trying to tell you, and get crystal clear on your next evolution.
  • Let go of the beliefs, patterns, and conflicts that have been holding you back in your life, relationships, and career/business.
  • Reconnect with your sense of adventure… the playful, curious, fully alive part of you that got buried under the weight of responsibility.
  • Learn powerful communication tools to deepen connection and create more harmony in your relationships… at home and at work.
  • Build real friendships with extraordinary women who are open-hearted, ambitious, and walking the same path of growth.
  • Go home with a clear vision and next steps… lighter, freer, and on fire for your dreams.

Design Your Dream Year

A live group coaching call with Gigi & Makena

Wednesday, January 27, 2027

8 AM Pacific / 10 AM Central / 5 PM Central Europe

You start every year with big intentions.

And then the day-to-day takes over. The calendar fills up, everyone needs something from you, and the dreams you were so excited about quietly slide to the back burner.

This call is your chance to bring them back to the front… and make 2027 the year they actually happen.

With Gigi and Makena, you’ll get clear on what you want most this year, see what’s in the way, and get coached live on your first moves to make it real.

And you’ll arrive in Amsterdam already in motion, with months of momentum behind you.

Can’t make it live? We’ll send you the recording.

Gigi Sage and Makena together
“I understand your hesitation. I had mine too, but there is nothing greater than women getting together to support each other… not to mention receiving expert guidance to see your own blocks, leaks, and limitations. If you’re open to sharing them, then you can shed light on them, and finally move beyond what’s been holding you back. That’s what this retreat did for me.”

What airport should I fly into?

Do I need to rent a car?

No. Amsterdam is a very walkable city, with lots of public transportation, as well as taxis and Ubers. We do not recommend you rent a car.

What is the schedule for the week?

Please plan to be fully present throughout the retreat week. We will organize the schedule so that you have a great mix of time to relax… time to connect with your fellow participants over meals and breaks… and powerful & transformative workshop sessions. There will also be a surprise excursion day. Simply clear your schedule, and we will take care of the rest! When was the last time you just got to relax and not plan anything?! You will absolutely love it.

I’m busy. Is taking a full week really worth it?

This is one of the most common questions we hear, and we get it. A full week feels like a lot when you’re juggling work, family, and everything else. But here’s what we’ve seen time and time again: When you take this time to step out of your life, deeply unwind, and gain a new perspective… you walk back into your world in such a different place. Less stress and pressure. More lightness and ease. More clarity and vision. Time actually expands on the other side of this retreat, because you approach life differently. You’re no longer spinning your wheels or operating from overwhelm. You’re moving with intention, clarity, and flow. So yes, it’s an investment of time. And it’s an investment that gives you so much more space, freedom, and opportunity on the other side.

I’m earlier on in my business. Is this retreat for me?

Yes! The women who join us are at all different stages of their lives and careers. Some are just starting out, and some have been running businesses for decades. What matters most is that you’re open-hearted and ready for your next chapter, whatever that looks like for you.

I don’t have a business. Is this retreat only for entrepreneurs?

Not at all! Many of the women who join us are business owners, and we also have many women in the corporate world, women who are retired or semi-retired, and women who have made raising their family their full-time work. What they all have in common is that they’re ready for what’s next… and they want the time and space to reflect and create an even richer life. If that’s you, you belong here.

I don’t know anyone attending. Will I fit in?

Absolutely. Past participants have told us again and again how amazed they were at how welcoming and supportive this community is. You will be welcomed from the very first moment.

Have a question that hasn’t been answered here?
